Could the clown thing be tied to Stephen King’s IT remake?

It all started back in the middle of August in South Carolina. Reports were filed that clowns were lurking in the forest outside of Greenville. Over the past couple of months, clown sightings have been occurring across the United States and now in Canada.

Online stories have stated that nobody who has reported seeing a clown has actually been seriously hurt. We can probably all agree that this is a crazy form of copycat. But as my over-thinking mind starts to work, it makes me wonder if some of these clown sightings might be the start of a viral campaign to promote the upcoming remake of Stephen King’s IT which is scheduled to be released on September 18, 2017.

I don’t know. I could be way off here, but in this day and age of competing for likes, shares and social media reach, this might all turn out to be a brilliantly twisted, eff’d up media campaign. That, or it’s all real and we’re all going to die.
